The Mob Reporter here with news of this discovery of a US$7-million load and why it tells us everything about the new narcos and their business along the southern border. The seizure by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers on Friday, Oct. 9, 2020, at the Otay Mesa border crossing that connects San Diego, California, to Tijuana, Mexico, but what wasn't found is as important as what was. There was no cocaine. How times have changed.
